Road to Hana Pestle (Day Two, Part Two/Two)
I’m a little late on updating this. Oops. Anyway, last night was amazing. Probably one of the best nights I’ve had in a while. I got a buttload of amazing things from the Lovely Miss Katrina Bleckly, Beth Hommel, and Hana Pestle.
I got lost. Like, HARDCORE lost. I had to call Katrina, talk to Kayla (a friend of Katrina), get her to tell me where to go, totally screw that up and end up asking a cute little old lady in a Taco Bell how to get there. Luckily she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. Little old ladies in taco bells are the best.
So, we all met (all meaning Katrain, Kayla, Lia, Hana, and I) at a place called “Coco Cafe”, which happens to be one of AFP’s favorite places to eat in Nashville. They were all so amazing to hang out with, and a year’s worth of stories to tell. “Accidental Meat”, the name of a Vegan Meat Company. (It’s fake, but it was a funny story)
Dinner consisted of food being passed around the disfigured circle. There was some really nice food at this place. A friend of Katrina’s, Liz, made these chocolate covered strawberries and they were freaking AMAZING. Hana was totally thankful later that night when Liz showed up at the venue. They really were tasty.
Dinner was over and we all left for a little while. It started to get really dark in there when the sun went down. So Katrina, Kayla and I went down to Kayla’s car because Katrina had some stuff to give me. I almost peed my pants. I totally love her and Beth Hommel. I handed over some buttons I’d made along with a few that they weren’t expecting. Then, it was off to the hotel for a while!
THE CONCERT
Showed up at the venue around 9:10-ish, doors opened around then. There was this nastly little man in red who was taking tickets. He was a total douche. Gave him my ticket (WHICH I WANTED TO KEEP, jerkface) and spotted Lia and Hana off in a corner. They were setting up the Merch Table. I bought this amaaazing Hana Pestle Shirt that’s green with an arty image of Hana on it along with her amazing logo, an EP (which Hana very nicely signed), and Hana/Lia gave me some stickers that a fan of theirs had made.
This particular fan also set up the HanaFans website. Which is a place for her fans to gather and so much. Here’s some linkage for you: http://hanafans.com/
Hana did amazing on stage. I loved every minute of it. We ended up staying until Pat McGee finished up. He took FOREVER, it was seriously 3:10 in the morning before he was done. We took some group photos and such, I’ll upload them later, I’m totally drained. I wouldn’t have traded this weekend for about anything. Hana is so nice in person, really sweet. Lia (which is Hana’s best friend by they way) is amazing, she’s really nice. Kayla seemed pretty cool, she was a little tipsy though. (:. And Katrina, pssh, she knows she’s cool. Haha.
Finally got to sleep around 4:00 (a.k.a. 5:00 GA time).
